    I heard the story, or A story of him allegedly stealing a coin at a major show. I don't have my CoinWorld for the printed story as of yet though.

    CW reported that he's accused of stealing coins worth $20K combined from two different dealers at two different Long Beach shows.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    This was brought up a few Long Beach shows ago.

    Are we talking about Brett Bogus?

    I always thought I'd change my name if I was selling stuff and had that name.

    Kinda like a car salesman named Rob Cheatham.

    I figured it was only a matter of time before that name got him in trouble.

    I was very surprised to see him in this kind of trouble over 20K worth of coins. Seems like pocket change compared to the coins he sells. Did'nt he have a complete collection of $20 libs for sale a while back in high grade?

    A old thread indeed but darktone question needs answering:



    << <i>Did'nt he have a complete collection of $20 libs for sale a while back in high grade? >>



    Yes he did. He (and his father) sold the set several years ago. I remembered remarking that he sold out a few years too soon.

    It's all true. Watch for the dealer in question to be extradited to California soon.
